I met Gareth in our final year at UoWE (Bristol Poly) when we shared a house on the student village and a few ciders. A few years after we graduated from our respective courses we ended up as part-time neighbours in Yateley in Surrey where we shared a few more ciders and at weekends we would often retreat to Gareth’s house in Bristol where I would cook a 1990’s style curry and drink McEwans export. On one of those weekends we were at one of Gareth’s neighbours watching RobCop and sharing a few more beers or ciders, when they got a call to attend an an alarm on a business on the edge of St Pauls?. Without hesitation Gareth volunteered our services to ride shotgun to attend the call. Luckily there was not an issue and as a reward we were both presented with a rubber coated hammer. Some 30 years later I still have that hammer which has pride of place in my garage and helped me with many DIY projects. That hammer will now forever remind me of Gareth. RIP old friend Phil
